Brenda's Expertise Made ALL The Difference!

Thanks to Brenda.... the facts surrounding my son's automobile accident were revealed and the outcome changed in his favor. Through her hard work and persistence, my son was fully compensated for his injuries and property loss. Our calls were ALWAYS returned promptly, with any questions answered in a... timely manner. As the case progressed, Brenda continually kept us abreast of any new or changing details. I would HIGHLY recommend her services as she has proven to be a skilled attorney who is both personable and professional.

Another Legal Matter Successfully Handled

Have used Brenda and Alan for 33 years. Have used Brenda for all cases but one, which Alan handled the criminal case. The tasks utilizing Brenda involved 3 wills, establishing my LLC, auto accident trial, 2 civil lawsuits, probate in court following my mother's passing, and just completed a custody... matter in July for my grandchildren (which was 100% successful). Every matter was handled well and every result was satisfactory/successful. I have always recommended the Fishbein's to my family, friends and co-workers.

Brenda is excellent

Brenda did an excellent job helping me through one of the most challenging times. Her calm demeanor and ability to see the bigger picture was crucial for the success of my case. We were able to resolve things in just one meeting with a mediator because of the great work Brenda accomplished. I am g...rateful that I had her with me throughout this process.

Smart

I have been very happy with Mrs. Fishbein. She stays on top of the situation. She is available when I need her and returns my calls in a timely fashion.

Worst Divorce Lawyer Ever

Brenda Fishbein took forever to even file my case. She never returned my calls and kept me hanging for weeks sometime months. She was not sensitive to me or my situation whatsoever. I kept getting bills but no calls or action. After six months of not knowing what was going on, I finally fired her and... hired a women. She took my case seriously. She would always answer my calls or call me back immediately. She kept me informed as to what was going on and I was divorced in half the time Brenda Fishbein was taking. Brenda was in it for the money. She took all my money and didn't get me any where.
